My new tattoo

2 Comments

It’s time to do some laundry tonight. Sometimes I let it pile up and take up all of the washers available in our apartment complex.

It’s funny, because we usually only have athletic wear and towels to wash mostly. I know when I run out of my favorite workout tops from Under Armour, MPG Sport, and Lululemon, it’s time to do laundry. I need my favorite items to work out in!

workout-clothesHey. Gotta have some visual interest in a blog post, right? :)

The boyf is training very hard for his upcoming Ironman in Mont Tremblant in August, so he’s going through laundry like it’s a hot potato. Sorry, couldn’t think of a better description than that. It’s incredible the work outs he puts in. For instance on Saturday & Sunday he ran 20km, Monday he biked 210km, Tuesday he ran 32 at a “slow” pace of what my fast pace is: 5:15min/km’s. Ya. His slow runs are my going full-tilt so that’s why we don’t train together ;) I don’t want to feel like I’m slowing him down even though he’s always up for going out on a run with me regardless of the speed.

CrossFit WodsI’m taking the night off CrossFit. I’ll be going 4x this week (Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri) and tonight I’m going to do a little work out at home from my iPad.

chatelaine all star movesI downloaded the Chatelaine 10-minute fitness app. I’ve been using it for a few days but tomorrow I’ll let you know how it all works.

I’ve been going to my pedicure lady for the past few years and last weekend she had a going away party since her family is moving to Cambodia, where I got this new tattoo of mine. Don’t freak out Mom and Dad – it’s fake. Who would’ve guessed? It’s a stencil which she painted body glue on, then brushed glitter of my choice. It won’t budge. It’s been on since the weekend.

fish tattooI thought it was “just a fish” until I was told it was finding nemo. Oops. I’ve never seen the movie, can you believe it?

I sure will miss that sweet Sophie. I get regular pedicures in the summer because even though I rarely I don’t wear opened toed shoes often because I’m cold pretty much constantly. I do like to have my feet pretty. Especially now that I have had a black toe nail RIGHT before summer started, and this happened last year as well. What luck, huh? Especially it being on my big honkin’ toe, too. TMI for you all? Sorry!

I’m out! Have a good night all.

Celebrity Crushes

12 Comments

As a kid there weren’t photos of my favorite singer, or actor on my walls. In fact, it was advertisements and “cool” images from magazines. I’ve never really given much thought to having a celebrity crush. Only for the fact that it would be so rare to meet them in person. That and I’m probably only basing my crush on their looks, fashion or acting skills. But! A few coworkers and I had a conversation about who we thought were super hunky in Hollywood so I thought I’d also write a little blog post about it too.

It’s not like I MUST see a movie they’re in. But here we go, my celebrity crushes. Male and female.

Should you buy the Tangle Teezer?

11 Comments

The-Original-Tangle-TeezerI’ve invested four dollars of my money in a hair brush that looks horrible but has had great reviews. Meet, the Tangle Teezer. It’s a brush that claims to detangle your hair with little effort. Does it work? Should you buy it?

tangle-teezerI have fine hair, and if I step outside on a windy day, my hair will get knotted. For years I’ve been using this wide tooth comb and while it worked for the time being, I felt like my hair wasn’t growing past a certain length and my hair was breaking easily, no matter how careful I was with the comb. I wash my hair every second day but I’ve been using the Tangle Teezer brush everyday since I bought it.

Tangle-Teezer_All I can compare it to is brushing out your already brushed hair. That’s how easy it is to glide through my rats nest set of locks. With regards to hair shedding however, there’s not a significant change. My hair sheds just about the same as it used to. So that’s unfortunate.

When can you use the Tangle Teezer?

  • Use on wet or dry hair.
  • Use in the shower to distribute your conditioner.
  • Use it when you’ve stepped out of the shower to rid hair of knots and tangles.
  • Works after you’ve applied styling products to damp hair.

The shape of the brush is the only thing I have a small issue with. I don’t mind that it doesn’t have a handle but it doesn’t fit in my hands as nice. But those are minor details. Tangle-Teezer-in-hand

You can see from the photo that the plastic bristles are two length which are thin and flexible. Note the bristles are shorter so if you have an abundance of hair you may need to separate it into sections. tangle-teezer-bristles

The Tangle Teezer is worth every penny… that is, if they made pennies anymore. You catch my drift, don’t you? I think I’m going to pick up a few more as presents before it goes back up in price.

Do you have tangly hair?

What kind of hair brush do you use?
